Primary
Classification |
|
Colonization |
- |
A style of ship that focus's
on long term storage of large amounts of materials,
as well as being easy to tear apart, for use of materials
on a landing site. |
|
Enhanced
Deterrence |
- |
The Enhanced Deterrence classification
is a new one, used to describe a war time step up
of classical Primary abilities. An Enhanced Deterrence
Explorer would have the sensors and crew for scientific
missions, but would also be equally designed as a
warship above and beyond what an explorer would usually
call for. |
|
Escort |
- |
Any craft built for the sole
purpose of high speed intelligence gathering or picket
duty |
|
Experimental
(NX) |
- |
Craft of experimental nature
are usually denied Primary classification other then
'Experimental' until such time as they can be tested
and proven fit for regular operation. Unless the weapons
themselves are experimental, a NX vessel is usually
given a Defense Classification for times of emergency.
|
|
Explorer |
- |
The most basic form of any
Starfleet vessel. An explorer is designed to travel
into knew frontiers. They combine an optimal balance
of sensors and living conditions that a crew might
survive for an indefinite period of time. |
|
Fleet
Carrier |
- |
Ships of this style are usually
light on weapons and heavy on storage space and hanger
space for Fighters. 'Fleet Carrier' can also be a
secondary classification for another primary classification.
|
|
Fleet
Tug |
- |
Any vessel that is designed
and performs the duties of tug-boat. A fleet tug is
capable of high warp for sustained periods of time
that they might stay with a battle-group, and tow
casualties out of a battle zone. |
|
Freighter |
- |
A style of vessel that has
been designed for large load capacity and optimal
fuel consumption. |
|
Hospital
Ship |
- |
ships of this nature are always
heavy on sickbays and the like. They are floating
hospitals, with either mass transport or landing capability
so as to be right at a battlefield. |
|
Infiltrator
|
- |
And infiltrator is a pure
tactical capability, also known as "Blockade runner'
"Infiltrator' can be a secondary ability to another
Primary classification. |
|
Marine
Troop-ship |
- |
A ship that can be likened
to a Colonization ship. Great store is placed in maximum
utilization of space for personnel and equipment. |
|
Mobile
Command
Center |
- |
Ships of this classification
can be of all types and styles, depending on the need |
|
Reconnaissance |
- |
Usually small and quick, for
behind-the-lines work. |
|
Rescue |
- |
Ships of this classification
are two-fold. Either large with lots of storage space
for Colonists or massive move ability for impending
disasters. Or, small and quick for maximum response
in a sudden emergency |
|
Research |
- |
Ships of this sort come in
all shapes and sizes, depending on the research needing
to be done. They are separated by Explorers insofar
as they usually study one event or object without
traveling to find others. This is not a first contact
vehicle. |
|
Starbase |
- |
As much a description as a
Primary Classification. Starbase's are structures
in space that do not have warp capability, and can
not move long distances without extreme outside assistance.
|
|
Stationary
Tug |
- |
A tug boat that is attached
to a Station or Stationary location as opposed to
with a Mobile fleet. |
|
Tactical |
- |
A pure warship, built and
bred for combat and defense. |
